Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All (Music Video)
First of all, I love this song. It suits Kelly so well and it’s something you would love to hear on the radio. So then onto the music video, Kelly looks amazing. The old Kelly, young and fun with attitude is back and is better than ever. Kelly looks …

Ranch Records Salem Oregon
Ranch Records actually has three locations, one in Salem, one in Bend, and one in McMinville, but I have never been to the other two, so I will concentrate on the Salem, Oregon Ranch.
Ranch is my favorite record store in the whole world. I recently went to San Francisco …
They Will Destroy You - The Mighty Rio Grande (Song)
You heard it when people say, “Pay attention to the lyrics, that’s where you know it’s true.” Well I think they are right and wrong at the same time. For the conventional thinking of everyone, a song is considered good because of its lyrics, but I think there are …
Andrew Jackson Jihad - We Didn’t Come Here To Rock (Song)
We Didn’t Come Here To Rock is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their album Can’t Maintain. Opening up with an incredibly frantic sound created by the guitar’s rhythm and drum pattern, the vocals join in the track soon enough and the characteristic vocal performance of …
Dean Markley: Misfits Skullbuster Electric Gutar Strings
Sick and tired of breaking 2-4 conventional guitar strings a week, I decided I needed to upgrade to something that can take a real beating without breaking. My playing style goes anywhere from horror punk, like older Misfits music, to deathrock, like Samhain, to rapid hardcore punk, meaning I …
Def Leppard ‘Euphoria’ album
Def Leppard are one of Britain’s most successful rock bands. They were one of the pioneers of the 80s hard rock sound, achieving massive, million selling success in the 1980s. In the 1990s, their music was no longer fashionable and their career took a slump. They changed their sound …
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD
The To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar soundtrack CD is pretty representative of this extraordinary movie which starred Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Legazamo as drag queens. While not every track is a hit for me, several of them are.
The movie, and the CD, opens …

The Misfits - TV Casualty (Song)

Doolittle, 1989 Album by The Pixies
This album is impressive on several layers. Songs on this album are quite different from one another, and I would not say that I like all of them, all the types of songs that are there. But it is clear that none of the songs on the album are …
AFI Miss Murder and Prelude Music Video
I love A Fire Inside’s Music video for Prelude and Miss Murder. Davey Havok and Jade Pudget are so hot.Davey Havok is a great poet. I love they way he writes he lyrics. The Prelude song is like a lullaby. The girl putting the paper in her mouth, and …
Nine Inch Nails - My Violent Heart (Song)
My Violent Heart is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on the record Year Zero. The song opens up with a very eerie rhythm played on a synthesizer which certainly gives the track an industrial feel. Reznor quickly joins in with his vocals and adds to the …

Stone Sour CD

Troye Sivan - TALK ME DOWN (Song )
I have been a huge fan on Troye Sivan ever since he released his debut single “The Fault in Our Stars” a few years back. His voice is eternally soothing, he’s not in for the great vocals you’ll find in Ed Sheeran or Bruno Mars songs but there’s definitely …
Best Days of Your Life by Kellie Pickler
Kellie Pickler pokes fun at a man who has dropped her for someone else only to realize that life isn’t as great as he thought it was going to be with the new girl. It is an awesome song for women who have been treated in exactly this same …
Radiohead - Jigsaw Falling Into Place (Song)
Jigsaw Falling Into Place is a song by Radiohead which appears on their album In Rainbows. Opening up with a mellow drum pattern along with an acoustic guitar, the track soon changes to take on a far darker mood once the acoustic pattern shifts, the drum beat changes, and …
Weezer - Getchoo (Song)
Getchoo is a song by Weezer which appears on their second record, Pinkerton. One thing I should say about Getchoo is that it’s characterized by a pretty rough and aggressive sound which is quite different from many of the songs on Weezer’s self-titled debut record, otherwise known as The …
Faster Pussycat
I love the album Faster Pussycat by Faster Pussycat. I had never heard of this 1980’s hair band until about 4 years ago when my boyfriend bought a DVD that had one of their songs on it and I fell in love with it.
So my sister gave me …
Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man (Song)

Artist: Mase ft. Total
Video: “What You Want”

Wicked Musical Soundtrack
I am a huge fan of musicals. Grease was one of my favorite movies of all time. Musicals just tend to be very upbeat and fun. I recently went to go see Wicked the Musical. It was not the one with the Original Broadway Cast, but it was still …
The Doors - L.A. Woman
Overview - L.A. Woman, The Door’s final album while Jim Morrison was alive, is an album that has a lot of blues influence to it, which I wasn’t a huge fan of, but also some of the best songs The Doors have ever put out. Morrison’s death truly is …
Van Halen - 1984
Overview —“ 1984, the final album that Van Halen released with David Lee Roth, was definitely not a disappointing final record with the original front man. I’m not a huge fan of Van Halen, although I do like some of their records and I actually managed to see them …
Evacuate the Dancefloor
I’m almost always undecided about whether I like Cascada, the person who sings the song “Evacuate the Dancefloor”. She tends to remake songs and turn them into something I just can’t listen to. She has done that with a few slow country songs and she doesn’t understand that some …
Eminem - Relapse
I’m surprised to see I’m the first one who makes the review for this album (from what I’ve searched). As a side note this is my first review here. :)
Eminem comes back after a very long pause (at least for me). Since the “Encore” which was released in 2004 …
Allison Becker

Bob Dylan - Blonde On Blonde

The Stylistics is or was a smooth soul all male singing group from the nineteen seventies. Although I have almost no interest in that kind of music, I know about them since my mother and father usually like listening to soul music from the sixties and seventies. I also …
Bad Moon Rising, 1985 Album by Sonic Youth
This album is a very interesting record. I would not even say that it is a good or strong record as such, but it is surely pretty interesting to listen to. This record, which appears very early in their career, shows how heavy and experimental this band is. Even …
Megadeth - Sleepwalker (Song)
Sleepwalker is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record United Abominations. The track starts off with a very melodic clean guitar part as some subtle strings also join in during the background of the track before a distorted guitar starts to build up and comes in with …
Riot by Paramore
Paramore’s latest album Riot was a total hit. This rock album has 14 songs on it. All different, some slow, some fast, some hard rock, some soft rock, all with a different meaning. It has For a pessimistic, im pretty optimistic, That’s what you get, Hallelujah, Misery business, when …
Scars by papa roach

Jay-Z - American Gangster
It has been long awaited for Hova aka Jay-Z to get back on ball with his flow. This album is a must have for any Jay-Z fan. This album is a definite must add to the Hova collection. Compared to his previous album “Kingdom Come” this album reigns supreme. …
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Overview —“ Paranoid, the second album released by Black Sabbath expands on the direction they introduced with their debut album and they somehow take that infamous dark sound and make it even better. Personally I thought that the debut album was extremely strong and innovative but Paranoid took this …
The Flaming Lips - Lucifer Rising (Song)
Lucifer Rising is a song by the Flaming Lips and a bonus track to appear on their fourth studio record, In A Priest Driven Ambulance. Opening up with a heavily distorted introduction, I’m slightly reminded of a sound that Radiohead would go on to embrace many years after this …
Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show
I watched Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show before and I must say that I was totally bemused and impressed. I think the lead singer, Nicole sang like a karaoke version of something. She can really stretch her vocal chords and it was so fun …
Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD
First of all, there is a very nice CD-rom portion of Brad Paisley: Who Needs Pictures CD that includes a video of Brad talking about the songs on the album, his start, and more. It’s really interesting to watch. It held my interest. The pictures and …
Thunder by Boys Like Girls
“Thunder” by Boys Like Girls had been a hit maker for a couple of months already. Though I didn’t like the beat so much, it appealed to me through its lyrics and the choice of words they made. My sister was also into this song. However, playing it over …
Bruce Springsteen - Magic
Bruce Springsteen released Magic in 2007, an album eagerly awaited by fans and critics alike. His first outing with the E-Street Band since 2002’s The Rising, a lot was expected of the Boss this time around.
